Jason Wu

I don't know if you caught it, but yesterday Bloomingdales did a live feed of the Jason Wu show. I think I sat staring at my screen for a solid 30 minutes while I was just waiting for the feed to start....loading, loading, loading....finally, EUREKA! Sadly, as most fashion shows go, I spent another 30 minutes watching people mingling, slowly finding their way to their seats, and being photographed. Finally, at around 1:30, the show started (scheduled 1 o'clock, but who's counting), and let me just say....AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING! The looks were tailored but with a great "throw on" appeal, and the whole collection just had an air of the perfect chic sophistication that you expect from Jason Wu. Look after look went down the runway, and the storyline just tied together so well that there was never a transition that made you stutter step at all. Definitely one of my favorite shows of the season so far.

I do have one bone to pick though, and not with Mr. Wu, but with Bloomingdales. For those of you that did get a chance to watch live, I'm sure you noticed the lack of music. I found myself humming a beat along with everything, because really the music is there for a reason. It adds a sense of frivolity, yes, but it also adds another layer to the flow of the show and really brings things back together. UNMUTE, BLOOMINGDALES!

But hey, if that was the only down fall, I'd have to say it was a pretty damn good show.

Pixie Cut, Pixie Cute

Not just anyone can pull off a pixie cut, one needs to have the perfect face for the "do". However, this model in the latest Neiman Marcus ad has natural beauty and pulls it off. As far as how she looks while she's bent down, I can't even imagine how long and lanky she looks while standing. This is the type of girl that stands out in a crowd. You would most likely do a double take as she walked by and maybe stare a little because she has such a unique look.

Guess' Spring Ad Campaign: So Cute!

Remember how I said there weren't any ads that were appropriate for the Valentine's Day season? I think Guess heard me. Even though these ads are for March, the colors are pink, white and red. The model is perfect with her blonde hair, blue eyes, think black eye liner, hot pink lipstick and red nail polish. Her body is slender, but not stick thin, which is a trend Guess has been leaning toward. I have more respect for Guess these days. Sometimes I think they go a little too far with the sexiness, but in this case, the pin up look is completely adorable and enjoyable.

Elle Fanning for Rodarte

If you haven't had a chance to watch the preview for the new short Elle Fanning starred in for Rodarte, stop reading and go watch it now, seriously you'll thank me. Sure the preview is only 30 seconds long (the full short is being debuted Tuesday), but already I find it completely fascinating. If you read my article a few weeks ago about the Mulleavy sisters work for Black Swan you already know I'm a fan, but this is something totally new for them in my opinion. A line so well defined in its structured looks and often dark story line finds a star in it's 12 year old, blond haired and petite new face. The radiant sun and mysticism that we already see in the preview is a stark contrast from the norm, but done is a way that is a completely seamless transition.

The trend of film shorts for designers has been exploding this year, and in my opinion is a trend that has been hit or miss (leaning towards miss most of the time) so it's nice to see a concept that isn't as trite as a lot of the things that have come out. Not much more can be said about it until the full video comes out but suffice it to say I am thoroughly excited for the possibility of how great this could be. If it's as enchanting as it seems, it will be just one more thing the sisters can add to their stellar year.

What to wear, what to wear...

Walking through the East Village in New York the other day with a few friends-making our way to what turned out to be an AMAZING dinner-something happened...a woman with a camera the size of her petite torso walked up and stopped one of my friends, asking to take a picture of her for her fashion blog. Cool, yes; however, given the fact that of the three of us i'm the only one slaving to make my way into the fashion industry, I would be remiss to deny my gnawing jealousy as she cooly and nonchalantly posed for the snap snap.

So what does it take to be photographed for a fashion blog? I mean street wear blogs are everywhere right? Sitting at home, not at all still thinking about it days later I have decided to pile a quick list of things that seem to tie most of the photographs together....again, not that I care....psssshhh (you believe me right? yea...bad liar.)

1) Dont fool yourself...everyone knows when you've got lazy face on. Whether it be the poof of a powder that pulls you together or 50 minutes infront of the mirror, really you wear make up from the inside out no matter how much or how little. And if you put on lazy face that morning...everyone knows, the guilt is brighter than any lipstick you own.

2) There always seems to be a pop of color, whether it comes from the aforementioned lipstick, a jacket, some glasses...whatever, but there is always something that draws the eye to that "wow" factor.

3) Your schtick. For my friend, I've never seen anyone pull off the over-sized glasses look better. On me, I'd feel like I was trying to hard, but on her it just looks right.

I know, these things really just apply to life in general, not getting photographed. What I think really pulls it all together, whether you find yourself in a foray with the camera, or just walking down to the corner store for that Ben and Jerry's you will deny buying later, is the cheesy answer you've probably already guessed...confidence. I felt like no one should look at me, so no one did, my friend looked like she'd been up partying with rockstars, so people assume she had. What will you rock on your next outing?
